How you can play offline

[Pheebe]

NGniusness has been working on a replacement authentication server to replace the CardLife ones that went away. His instructions are:

You can also change the server that Cardlife connects to for authentication. In the game files, set line 2 of ServerConfig.json to

"AuthUrl": "https://live-auth.cl.ngni.us/api/",

and it'll connect to my own server which has another implementation which approves any login attempt from a Steam version of Cardlife.

That url is just pointing to a running instance of the authentication server from here: https://git.ngni.us/OpenJam/servers/

Rather than yelling 'scam' at a game that's been around for 9 years, how about you figure things out for yourself? I've updated the instructions to include the file that needs to be backed up.

yes thats called scam

as you self Said. 9 years ago. time Passes. also does Hardware.

and this "Developer" never Said we Not able To Play anymore without some stupid Data from their now offline Servers.

thats scam. simple. quick and easy.

i Dont See the Files To Download. can you Upload Them?
so the Game is at least playable?

GraVe and Pheebe I found someone that cracked this game playing it right now.

Does the team work on a solution for an offline mode that doesn't require a verification beforehand? In theory it shouldn't be that hard getting rid of EasyAntiCheat and the server connection requirement. Last one probably just takes one line of code.
If there is no further update on an offline mode planned I will refund this game in 3 days. It doesn't make sense to spend 12 € on a game that is stuck in a loading screen.

Just as a heads up, you CAN get into the game even if you didn't manage to get an ID before it went down. I picked up a copy when I heard it was going down and didn't get the chance to play before the servers went kaput, but still generated an ID that allowed me to get past the infinite loading screen. It requires having Unity installed and being able to run a script in it. There's youtube videos on how, you just need to run a .cs file to generate your id within unity. (You still need the -offline flag.) Just requires a bit of google searching, but be careful about what you download and what sites you visit.

you have a link? or the file?
or is this just some info a friend of your friend of a friend said to your friend?

i have 0 clue about unity or scripts xD

Use the much simpler and safer method offered by NGniusness below to play the game!

[NGniusness]

Copying a script off the internet is still downloading it. Be careful unless you understand what the code does. It looks fine to me and I understand C#, but there's no guarantee it'll be fine in the future.

Sincerely, some rando on the internet

On a related note, you can also just change the server that Cardlife connects to for authentication. In the game files, set line 2 of ServerConfig.json to

"AuthUrl": "https://live-auth.cl.ngni.us/api/",

and it'll connect to my own server which has another implementation which approves any login attempt from a Steam version of Cardlife.

edit: Steam has flagged that link as potentially malicious because it parsed the quotes with the url /facepalm
That url is just pointing to a running instance of the auth server from here: https://git.ngni.us/OpenJam/servers/

^ This is the way! Removed the old data stuff and offline flag and tested this method, and it works perfectly. Really happy to see that we don't have to rely on cracks! Right click on CardLife -> Manage -> Browse local files to find that ServerConfig.json and follow the above instructions and it works perfectly. Many thanks for your efforts to preserve the game!

and i wanted to Save the Files. (for secrity reasons)
